Windows Live Products

Bullet Proof XP · 05-21-2006, 07:01 PM

Who here uses any of the new Windows Live Products? And what do you think of them? I use the Windows Live Mail Beta and so far so good even though it's an MS prototype. I used to use the Windows Live Messenger Beta for a while but I had to give that up because my sister could not get onto her MSN account.

A question to the people who have hotmail accounts:

Do you people prefer Hotmail or Windows Live Mail Beta?

well ya see.....I have a bootleg version of xp, so there fore I can't down load anything from the official website with out having to down load that authentication software also, which leaves me out of the loop so to speak, but I did sleep at a Holiday inn last night.

You may want to get a real copy of Windows Vista when it's released since there is going to be certain things for Xbox 360 and Live anywhere added.

LOL yeah I probably will, I already have a beta version of vista ( thanks to a hacker friend ) But I would rather BUY vista, I just can't justify paying at or around $100 for xp almost 6 years later, don't get me wrong but I have 2 copys of a legit version of xp, I just lost the serial numbers.

And this to do with the subject because?.................

I use (or have used) the following:
Windows Live Messenger
Windows Live Mail
Windows Live One Care
Live.com beta
Windows Live Favourites beta
Windows Live Safety Centre beta

As for Hotmail Vs Windows Live Mail, I've found the transition to be quite easy.

I've gone back to hotmail now because I am using Firefox once again and it won't let you use the panel layout instead it shoves you onto the hotmail classic look which is just gay. Anyone here who uses firefox noticed that?

it doesn't shock me that firefox would do that. MS wants you to use IE, so it looks like i'll stick to gmail

i'm using live messenger now. looks pretty good and with some useful features now. i really like that sharing folder thing. put a file in a friends folder so that they can download the file off of ya. would have been really useful for school, but now that i'm almost done, i'll probably never use it

I think they said that Live prodcuts are not optimized for Firefox yet... I think they said they'll do it after it's all done.

i used live.com, live mail, and live one care. i dont care for live one care i prefer zonealarm. live mail works fine for me and i use firefox. live.com is ok it has good rss feeds, i dont use it very often.
